    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The strange odyssey of Randolph Morris took another unexpected twist when the Kentucky center was a no-show at the NBA pre-draft camp yesterday.

    Morris is in Chicago, however, and is expected to conduct a private workout for scouts this afternoon.

    The 6-foot-10 Morris averaged 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game for the Wildcats. He notified UK of his intention to enter the draft via a fax and hasn't spoken with Coach Tubby Smith or any of his teammates since applying for the draft.</div>

He will be evaluated by a doctor in Washington this morning and may try to make it here for tonight's session.</div>

    All Morris can do now is hurt his stock, so if he were to participate in workouts and get abused by smaller players as he did last year, his stock would probably take a huge hit. Holding private workouts with teams that has no competition, his stock stays steady. I'm just hoping he comes back to school and improves in the many areas that he struggles in(most likely won't be happening).

    If Azubuike can't hang with the boys in draft camp, then how the heck does he think he's going to in the NBA. If this injury is serious, then Azubuike most likely has no shot at being drafted and will be forced to go to Europe and play which is not what he wanted to do. If he doesn't get drafted, he'll realize that he should've listened to everyone and went back to college for his senior year. Because from what I saw, he would've been a 1st round pick in the 2006 draft.

    Mr Morris is hallucinatin'. 8.8 won't put you on top of the list,so taking the prima donna route won't impress anyone. He needed to show something,but chooses to instead hope his high school reputation buys his lunch.
